The Barbados Royals (BR) will be up against the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GUY) in Match No. 21 of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 on Friday, September 5, at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.

The Barbados Royals are currently at the bottom of the points table, having suffered three defeats in as many matches. They will be desperate to register their first victory of the season and keep their hopes of qualification alive. A win here would finally open their account in CPL 2025 and provide a much-needed boost to their campaign.

On the other hand, the Guyana Amazon Warriors sit in fourth place with two wins from four outings. While they have shown glimpses of form, they will be eager to secure more victories and strengthen their chances of progressing to the next round of the marquee T20 competition.

The Kensington Oval in Bridgetown offers a lively surface that traditionally favours fast bowlers, with the help of the extra bounce and pace on offer. Seamers who can exploit the conditions early often find good assistance. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to settle, making it favourable for batting. Once set, batters can play their shots with confidence and runs can come quickly.

Brandon King, Quinton de Kock (wk), Kadeem Alleyne, Shaqkere Parris, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell (c), Eathan Bosch, Daniel Sams, Chris Green, Jomel Warrican, Ramon Simmonds

Ben McDermott, Quentin Sampson, Shai Hope (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Moeen Ali, Hassan Khan, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Imran Tahir (c)

The wicketkeeper-batter Shai Hope could be the key player in this clash. He has been in fine form, scoring 200 runs in just four innings so far in the tournament. With his ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when needed, Hope can play a decisive role in guiding his team toward victory.

The veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir will be the key bowler in this encounter. He is currently the leading wicket-taker in CPL 2025 with 12 wickets to his name. His variations, especially the sharp leg-spin and deceptive googly, have consistently troubled opposition batters and turned matches in his team’s favour.
